Lenovo Legion Y9000K 2024 gaming laptop debuts with Intel Core i9 and Nvidia RTX 4090

The Lenovo Legion Y9000K 2024 has been officially announced in China. It is set to launch on February 27 in the Chinese market with a starting price of CNY29,999 (around $4,172). Global availability is yet to be revealed, but the 2023 model did make an international debut as the 2023 Legion 9i (2023 Legion 7i curr. $2,326.67 on Amazon). So this one should also be announced for other markets soon.

When it comes to specifics, the new Lenovo gaming laptop packs the 125-watt Intel Core i9-14900HX, the current top CPU in the Raptor Lake-HX refresh series. It sports 24 cores and 32 threads. In our tests with an engineering sample, we found the processor trade blows with the last-gen’s top-end i9-13980HX, which the 2023 Legion 9i came with.

Lenovo paired the high-end processor with Nvidia’s top-end mobile GPU, the 175-watt RTX 4090 (ASUS TUF RTX 4090 curr. $2,117.04 on Amazon). Combined with 64 GB of DDR5 RAM, the Legion Y9000K 2024 positions itself as a laptop that can offer excellent mobile gaming performance in all AAA titles.

Of course, all that powerful hardware calls for a robust cooling solution. Lenovo addresses that with a built-in water cooling setup. It’s paired with what the company calls the “Frost Blade Ultra” cooling system, aiming to ensure sustained performance in heavy loads.

As for the display, the 2024 Legion Y9000K gaming comes with a 16-inch mini LED display with a resolution of 3200 x 2000 pixels, 1200 nits brightness rating, 165 Hz refresh rate, and HDR1000. Lenovo also says that the screen has a wide DCI-P3 color gamut and a response time rate of 3 ms.

Other notable features of the 2024 Lenovo Legion Y9000K gaming laptop include 2 TB of PCIE 4.0 storage, WiFi 6E, TrueStrike RGB keyboard, and a tuned speaker setup.
